Redesigned and annotated in an edition for use in contemporary kitchens, Catharine Parr Traill’s The Female Emigrant’s Guide provides readers with the resources to actively use and experiment with recipes from the original. Containing modernized recipes, a measurement conversion chart, and an extensive glossary, this volume also includes discussions of cooking conventions, terms, techniques, and ingredients that contextualize the social attitudes, expectations, and challenges of Traill’s world and the emigrant experience.
